Is my Evo getting slower?

Or am I just used to it now, and want more? I have had my evo for two months now, and it just does not seem that fast to me anymore. I'm putting down close to 340hp but it just seems like it is getting slower. Time for more mods?

Inside joke? Anyway, nothing is broken, I just think my butt dyno is accustomed to the car now. Any ideas on how to get a quicker spool up without sacrificing top end?

No. I am running a BR 3" TBE, cat delete, and intake. I've got HKS 272 cams, walbro fuel pump, and a tune on 91. Are you refering to the LICP?

Hmmm. I'm thinking maybe my tune is a little on the conservative side. O2 housing really make a big difference? Are you satisfied with your br mbc? I was thinking about getting one.

Nope. Its actually pretty signifcant.

Most evo VIII's around my area with Intake, exhaust, and IC dyno around 300-320 whp.

All the IX's around here with the same mods dyno 350+
